Having been reassured by a couple of the SCN demos from their website, I

The screen size is about 8" x 5" and the quality of the picture was

All in all, I'd thoroughly recommend it to any exiled 'Well fans. I'd be

match, and I was very encouraged by the composure, fight and confidence we showed. Can't remember the last time I was so up-beat after a defeat (maybe
